Now Oprah is telling Justin Bieber what to do.

In a recent interview with the pop star, which will air Nov. 25 on "Oprah's Next Chapter," she asks Bieber if he really intends to be married by 25, as he has stated. When the 18-year-old reveals that he does, Oprah offers some words of wisdom.

"I think 25's too young, actually. I really do -- and particularly for you," Oprah said. "Your whole 20s is about discovering who you really are, and you owe that to yourself, particularly because of the business that you're in (where there's) not a lot of self-discovery time because so much is already defined for you."

In other words, you have a lot of groupies you still need to get out of your system.

"You are Oprah and you're telling me to not get married when I'm 25, so I should probably listen to you," Bieber responded.

That crash you just heard was the sound of Selena Gomez throwing one of her shoes through her television.
